As many researchers, I use LaTeX to write papers, in collaboration with other researchers in the world. In recent years, some online solutions have made this process much easier. Currently, the dominant platform to write papers online with other researchers is Overleaf. I wanted to get more information about the company, but realised there is no Wikipedia page. I have decided to finish the draft page that had been rejected previously: Draft:Overleaf.
I have made several attempts to comply with the requirements for publication of an article. I am a paying user of Overleaf. I do not have any link that would create a conflict of interest.
I have cited some of the top publishers using Overleaf, such as Web of Science Group and AIP Publishing, together with some of the top institutions in the world that are using Overleaf for collaborative scientific writing: Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, DTU, ETH Zurich and CERN. All the original links from these companies and institutions have been cited in the draft of the Overleaf page. I could continue the list and add many more of the top institutions using Overleaf. But if the list above is not enough to prove the notability of the company, I do not think that any list would convince the people who have rejected the publication of the page. So I would really appreciate some help to understand how the most widely used company for collaborative LaTeX editing in the world cannot meet the notability requirements for a Wikipedia page.
If you look at all the other companies listed on the Comparison of TeX editors page, they barely have one reference, if not zero outside from their own website. If Wikipedia editors want to be fair on this, I think they should remove all these pages from Wikipedia. I do not see why those pages meet better the requirements for publication than the extensive collection of information I have provided here. Please let me know how I can get this page published finally. I have already spent several days on it, and I do not see any way to fulfil the requirements raised by the Wikipedia reviewers. MJ1984 ( talk) 14:51, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
An interesting point to add: the company ShareLaTeX was acquired by Overleaf, as detailed in the page Draft:Overleaf. So the company simply does not exist anymore, and the references in its Wikipedia page are only coming from the ShareLaTeX website or from the Overleaf website. Can someone explain to me how that page is allowed to exist while I cannot publish a page with 66 references? MJ1984 ( talk) 14:57, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I really do not understand what source could be more reliable that the websites of the top research institutions in the world. If tens of the top institutions in the world are customers using this platform, is it irrelevant for the notability of the company? I can make a random search and find tens of pages talking about the best LaTeX editors. All of them will have Overleaf listed. But I feel I would be just wasting my time, as the many independent pages I have already cited are just disregarded. Even a paper published in the journal Nature [doi: 10.1038/d41586-019-01796-1] would be completely meaningless as I understand, because the company behind the journal Nature is connected to Overleaf ("Overleaf is owned by Digital Science, a firm operated by the Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, which has a share in Nature’s publisher, Springer Nature")? MJ1984 ( talk) 16:01, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you Tigraan for having a look at it, and thank you ThatMontrealIP for cleaning-up the Draft:Overleaf. [I am not sure if there is a more standard thank you format that can be followed?] I have found the following paper published in a scientific journal and discussing about Overleaf: Martínez-López, J. Israel; Barrón-González, Samantha; Martínez López, Alejandro (2019). "Which Are the Tools Available for Scholars? A Review of Assisting Software for Authors during Peer Reviewing Process". Publications. 7 (3): 59. doi: 10.3390/publications7030059.. It contains about half a page on "Web-based LaTeX editors", citing only two of them: "such as ShareLaTeX and Overleaf". If you realise that these companies have merged, this is quite a strong argument about notability I guess. Together with the Nature paper cited above written by "a Berlin-based reporter for Times Higher Education, covering universities, research and politics across continental Europe" [6], [7]: Matthews, David (2019). "Craft beautiful equations in Word with LaTeX". Nature. 570 (7760): 263–264. Bibcode: 2019Natur.570..263M. doi: 10.1038/d41586-019-01796-1. PMID 31186559. S2CID 184483820.. Would that be sufficient to meet the notability requirements? Or the mention on the Times Higher Education [8] maybe? MJ1984 ( talk) 23:09, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
I try to summarise below what could count somehow:
Is that sufficient to prove notability? I have tried to list mostly the sources that seem to be recognised by Wikipedia. So it starts to be quite a significant list now?
I do not understand your comment about Overleaf being a "niche software". The link to Wikipedia:Notability_(software)#Inclusion you include just next clearly states as a notability criteria: "It is discussed in reliable sources as significant in its particular field." So being a niche software cannot be used to claim it does not meet the notability criteria for Wikipedia. Your comment "Wikipedia does not care about that" is actually against the Wikipedia:Notability_(software)#Inclusion policy. MJ1984 ( talk) 22:50, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

I draw your attention to the Gary Loyd Stewart page in Wikipedia and ask you to consider: (1) There's very little information here about Gary Stewart.

He has lied, manipulated, and manufactured clues that have now been exposed. I draw your attention to a documentary (on FX and Hulu) called "The Most Dangerous Animal of All"

Dr. Kris Kooper ( talk) 00:56, 11 March 2020 (UTC) /info/en/?search=BioViva Dr. Kris Kooper ( talk) 00:56, 11 March 2020 (UTC) 90% of the information on this page was written by the primary source, the CEO of BioViva. It reads like a promotion or infomercial. Once actual Wikipedia editors found the page, wrote honest material stating it’s pseudoscience, not FDA approved, etc. The page is about a Science Company run out of the primary sources home. The primary source has no scientific degrees. No M.D., No PhD, nor any advanced degree in Genetics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics or any science whatsoever. The primary source does not even have a College degree. The page reads like promotion and an infomercial that is then rebutted by Wikipedia editors. It is embarrassing with false scientific information and makes BioViva sound like an actual science company whilst Wikipedia editors quote Antonio Regalado of M.I.T., Dr. Bradley Johnson, Associate Professor of Pathology and Lab Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Timothy Caulfield, professor in the The Faculty of Law and the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta, George M Martin, professor of pathology at the University of Washington, Duncan Baird, professor of Cancer and Genetics at Cardiff University's School of Medicine whom all state BioViva and it’s unapproved FDA offshore medical tourism treatment is pseudoscience or worse.

I've used wikipedia for years and made a few edits without an account, but finally decided to take the plunge with an account. With all the corona around I may have a lot of time to spend surfing the web as I got exposed to someone that's tested positive. So I've scanned the info that popped up and it's massive. I never thought there was so much to editing honestly because there's a lot of stuff I've seen that either I know was wrong or found out it was wrong if it was something I was interested in and did more reading. It took me a bit to find this coffee house, but I'd love if anyone can tell me what would be some of the top, maybe like 3, articles that I should read through. This is the link for where I've been reading. /info/en/?search=Help:Getting_started thanks. Incidentally, I clicked on the edit tab for a page and see what pretty much looks like html. I learned html in the 1980s and do sas programming, but I have to confess that I've got lost looking at the source code. Can't they come up with something easier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GlobalWarmingIsFalse ( talk • contribs) 02:18, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝) 05:44, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Some organizations' rules or traditions call for secrecy with regard to certain information about them. Such restrictions do not apply to Wikipedia, because Wikipedia is not a member of those organizations; thus Wikipedia will not remove such information from articles if it is otherwise encyclopedic.
I've been reading all the editing materials between looking up stuff on actual pages. There are about 20 pages that I kinda of keep track. I have to be honest that I'm either confused or simply don't think editing is for me, although I know I could offer some good. On 3 of the pages I watch I overlap with another guy that has me confused about brd and this is what i'm hoping to get some kind of clarity.
On the 3 pages there's a user that no matter what someone does it is reverted. Literally everything. It's confusing because many, but not all, of the changes I think are good. A little by accident I found the talk page and boy some exchanges are scary. The guy is so intractable and two users have essentially said screw it and give up. One apparently tried to complain that the person made too many reversals and the guy got banned for awhile awhile back. But it seems all it did was educate them to wording things and it appears people just give up. To me that's a shame that one person can dominate something like that.
So having said all that, it makes me not even want to edit at all because life is too short and dealing with someone that can't see a balanced view is pretty frustrating. So is editing even worth it? I'm afraid to edit any page because if I take the time and run into someone else like that I know it'd drive me crazy. So is editing even worth it?

User AustroHungarian1897 has created several subpages for the aformentioned topic, and I really believe they aren't necessary. The articles have copy-pasted content from the main article, and even if it was original, the amount of data doesn't justify an entire page and would easily fit into the existing article. Would it be okay to mark them for deletion?

This is not a particularly high-visibility page, probably even less so since GA delisting, and I am struggling to come up with a reason why it should so suddenly be subject to new editing. The editors are not vandalizing or doing anything improper; it's just... strange. A couple of the editors shortly thereafter started or began drafting seemingly well-curated new articles (see Zjhin (since deleted), Selina Thompson, Draft: Passage AI). I'm here not because of any particular concern - just wondering if anyone else regards this as remarkable and odd, and notices anything suspicious that I'm missing. Thanks.

Note: I guess this is probably the wrong place to ask about this, but I don't know what would be a better venue. It's not an ANI concern, and posting to the talk page isn't going to get any eyeballs on it, so I'll take suggestions as to what might be a good alternate forum.

Hi, I tried to edit the History of Nepal page by removing some obvious nonsense added there. But the content I removed reappeared if I logged out or refreshed the page. I went to go back and remove it again, but in the edit window it wasn't there. Did I actually remove it or not? How come it reappeared instead of permanently going? I'm finding Wikipedia daunting to start so could someone review my other edits as well? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 314WPlay ( talk • contribs) 16:59, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
I am new to Wiki, want to create a Wikipage for our company's CEO. I've disclosed that conflict of interest on my user page. I believe what I have written takes a neutral point of view.
Two questions to that end 1) I saved a draft to work on later, and yet someone was able to review it and spike it. If it wasn't ready for review, why can someone delete it? That seems so foolish. 2) Here is the portion of the draft I had written. It is sourced with reliable, verifiable third-party sources. Only the most menial facts were sourced by our company website, which is within Wiki policy. There is nothing written that isn't fact-based and cited. Can someone tell me what is wrong with it?
Thank you in advance for any reply and guidance.

Jayson Waller (born Dec. 5, 1979) is an entrepreneur and founder of POWERHOME Solar, an energy efficiency and solar panel installation company based in Mooresville, North Carolina. Waller was a top sales manager for Verizon Wireless and owned ISI Alarms, a home security company, before becoming co-owner of PowerHome Technologies, another home security business[1]. He branched off from that to begin POWERHOME Solar in 2014, and has been the CEO since. Waller has overseen extensive growth at POWERHOME, with the company being ranked No. 100 among the 2019 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America[2]. This is the second time for POWERHOME to be ranked among the top 100 in the last three years, as it was ranked No. 96 in 2017[3]. POWERHOME is also ranked No. 6 nationally among residential rooftop solar installers[4]. The growth came after POWERHOME lost $1 million in its first year of operation[5]. Waller’s success has earned him multiple awards, including a 2019 EY Entrepreneur of Year Southeast Award in the Emerging Services category[6]. He also has been named one of the Most Admired CEOs of 2020[7] and one of five Champions of the New Economy in 2019[1]. Waller is the face of the POWERHOME brand and has filmed commercials with the Detroit Youth Choir, the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns. His True Underdog podcast shares his entrepreneurial story and that of other successful entrepreneurs, public-influencers, athletes and celebrities[8]. He seeks to motivate others who may be going through struggles. With a humble upbringing, Waller says that when he grew up, others gave him a feeling that he was less than them, and that motivated him to change that perception by becoming successful[9]. Waller is a champion for the community, helping guide efforts to assist members of the military through the company’s associations with the Lifetime TV miniseries Military Makeover[10] and Major League Baseball star Justin Verlander’s Wins for Warriors Foundation[11]. Waller also helped his company form a partnership with the GivePower Foundation to donate $40 of every solar project it installs to fund clean drinking water projects in areas of need across the world. The solar-powered desalination systems installed with these funds can provide clean water to up to 35,000 people a day[12]. Waller also has earned three gold Globee Awards, two for Professional of the Year in the Energy & Utilities and the U.S. categories, and one as Entrepreneur of the Year[13]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rogerkuznia ( talk • contribs) 13:14, 13 March 2020 (UTC) |

I was asked, on my talk page, by another editor, whether I am aware of advice or a WikiProject for editors who want to do paid editing, but want to do it both well and in accordance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. My reply was unpleasant to and about paid editing, and they in turn rebuked me, in a way that I think was partly fair and partly unfair, but it was thought-provoking. They pointed out that we have a policy do not bite the newbies, and that they are a newbie to paid editing. I don't think that is the intent of the policy, but it was an interesting thought. So my question here, in a forum for advice to new editors, is whether there is a forum or project for paid editors, or whether the lack of a forum and the lack of constructive advice is intended as a disincentive to paid editors, or what. Robert McClenon ( talk) 17:32, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
References
It seems to me, and I may have missed something, that there is a false dichotomy being raised about paid editing, with the statement that we should either welcome it or ban it outright. I am not sure why there can't be a compromise. It is true that the compromise makes paid editing unpleasant, which is just fine from the standpoint of the volunteer editors who are the community. I think that the current system is working satisfactorily if it makes paid editors unhappy,but that is only my opinion.
Maybe any discussion of the policy on paid editing should be in a policy forum rather than a help forum. However, what I am seeing is that there is an inherent conflict between any desire to use Wikipedia for a commercial purpose, and the neutral point of view, which is the second pillar of Wikipedia. Any article that satisfies neutral point of view is not likely to satisfy the desire of a company to use Wikipedia for a commercial purpose. It may be that volunteer editors who would like to offer their services as paid editors think that the conflict can be worked, but maybe it can't, and if the conflict can't be worked usefully, then it may function as an effective quasi-ban, and that is all right. At least, I think it is all right for the Wikipedia community. Comments? Robert McClenon ( talk) 18:15, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the correct term for the short list of facts under the first picture on the top right hand of articles pages is but I am going to call them quick facts until I find out the proper name for it. On the page for The Liberty Bell in the list of facts it lists the height, the weight, the material, and other things but the weight is not listed. I tried to add it by copying the format that I saw but it did not seem to work. I think the best place for it is below the type of bell and above the material, if not there then below the height and above the completion date. If someone who knows more about how to edit these sections with the pictures it would be appreciated. The article lists The Liberty Bell as having a weight of 2,080 pounds (940 kg), but the info is buried down lower in the page.

I have questions about citing a book with different editions. As an example, Stephen F. Austin cites The Life of Stephen F. Austin, Founder of Texas, 1793–1836 by Eugene C. Barker, originally published in 1926. The references list a 1968 second edition of the book. The footnotes use a short citation style with the 1926 date. My own copy is a reprint of the first edition, so I cannot confirm that the 1926 edition and the 1968 edition have the same pagination. Similarly with the Austin biography by Cantrell, I have a hardback with a publication date of 1999, and the article cites 2001 as the year of publication, which is probably correct for the paperback release. Which version should be cited when different editors are referring to different editions or different years of publication for the same book? And do they need to agree throughout the article?

at the end of your post.Hi, I used to have a wikipedia entry but it was removed a while ago by admins, I guess because they thought the content was not true or verifiable or not interesting enough.
My name is Ian David Marsden and I have already published several books and done quite a few things in the art, graphics, illustration and cartoon world. I was the very first Google Doodle creator for example.
I have a new graphic novel out which is about the life of the composer Marvin Hamlisch:
https://www.schifferbooks.com/marvin-based-on-the-way-i-was-by-marvin-hamlisch-6815.html
https://www.amazon.com/Ian-David-Marsden/
More about me:
https://marsdenillustration.com/about/
I do NOT wish to write an entry about myself, nor to write changes to any other entries regarding me or my books. Therefore I am adressing this forum. I don't know what it takes to "Merit" an entry but I thought maybe this new U.S. publication about a notable figure and one of only two winners of the PEGOT awards might qualify.
It would be very nice if at least my new book about Marvin Hamlisch could be added to the Marvin Hamlisch page. After that I would of course like it if my own entry could either be reinstated or if a new short one about me, my books and my artwork could be created, linked to all the relevant topics (illustrator, cartoonist, Swiss cartoonist, graphic novel author, etc.)
I will gladly provide any further information that is required. I would like to stress again: I don't want to write about myself and I don't wish to get into any arguments whether I should have an entry or not. I just wanted to put this information out there so that you can be the judge yourselves and decide and take approproate action, if any.
Thank you very much.

Hello all, long time listener, first time caller.
Just curious how to go about adding automated infometrics to articles? Eg; the SVG world maps with colouring showing the spread of viruses or demographic data and the like - do people just upload these SVGs on a regular basis or something? Can anyone please point me to some relevant templates/guides?
Reason I'm asking is that I've written some (Python) code which computes the Gallagher index scores for election systems, which helps to quantify the amount of dis-proportionality in voting systems. Would there be any interest in including such data in election articles? It's not really original research or anything, just an implementation of the least squares function to help churn through and present the data.
The basic idea of the Gallagher index is it gives you a measure of difference between the percentage of votes, versus the percentages of bums on seats in any given legislature. In the US election system this number can go over 10%, which is rather 'undemocratic' by international standards. Dis-proportionality itself is a non-partisan issue affecting both republicans and democrats, but the data I'm seeing for the US primaries does suggest some penalties and bonuses in some states which might be notable enough for inclusion, especially when this number is over 10%.
What are other people's thoughts on this? Would it be a useful and relevant inclusion on election outcome templates/articles? Or is it too close to original research? WinstonSmith01984 ( talk) 12:56, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello Teahouse! So I submitted my article for the actor Sean Depner. It was declined twice, because of lack of reliable sources. The problem here is, most of the informations I got of him, are from social media accounts and that will not get accepted as a reliable source. I also used IMDB as a reliable source, but it also got declined. My article is a right based on my own research, but they are not reliable sources for Wikipedia.

I will tell the truth I started to write the articles and be active at wikipedia to have the notability of myself and my companies listed at wikipedia in the quickest way. I started approximately 5 days publishing at many languages but the process of getting notability is very ambigouous and depends on the approval of editors. I relly on the internet articles which spreads for more quantity of articles describing "how to get your company listed on wikipedia, Part 1" and others.
I had the luck or rather wisdom and the sober and vigiliance of my brain to be active in the most emerging technologies so according to the wikipedia 5 pillars and other articles if i will be right in writing and stick to the rules of wikiedia i hope i will get my profile nobility and my company will be listen on wikipedia.

When we have a long article needing a task done, it is frustrating to read it upto the end then scroll back up to click on the edit button or publish button. I wanted to suggest that can't we have a scroll up button at the bottom right corner in every wikipedia page? I think this will help a lot. Lightbluerain ( talk) 17:29, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Since I am not experienced, I am not clear what part of the article looks like “advertising“ as the article looks written objectively and supported by secondary sources which are all facts based data available online. I would like to have an advice from experienced editors regarding what exactly should be changed so that the next submission doesn’t get declined. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I know first hand that nachos were served at San Antonio Spurs basketball games in the Hemisphere Arena in the winter of 1975/76. This was several months before the Texas Rangers baseball games in the spring of 1976.

Hello,
I had my article, Draft:Etymology of Chicago rejected. The reason given is that "This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission."
In one sense, most people are unfamiliar with the subject. That's why they are looking it up on Wikipedia. I am putting pieces together, fully referenced, in a new way, in the spirit of what I think an encyclopedia should be. My introduction (lead) gives the essentials of what the piece is about.
My piece is a scholarly article -- with no jargon or technical talk -- written for an intelligent person interested in the subject of "where did the word Chicago come from." What have others said, who-what-where-when, and what is new to say about it, based on existing resources. Fifteen years ago, a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune (William Mullen) said that my work would revise history. What Wikipedia has currently for the etymology of Chicago is subject to critical review of the background information.
If a person reading my piece was unfamiliar with the main actors and events, I have links that give context to many of them. Could I please have some other opinions about the rejection? What in this case in meant by "context?
I intend to write more articles in this subject matter area, and I believe that Wikipedia is in the spirit of what I would like to give.

Hello,
It would be nice if someone could give me a few tips about what I did wrong - and how I can do better in the future: Unfortunately I can not quite understand why this ( /info/en/?search=Draft:ContiTech) article was rejected. Can anyone tell me specifically where something does not fit? It is a 1:1 translation from the German Wikipedia ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ContiTech), has been online there for 14 years and has since then been checked by several administrators and adapted again and again by numerous participants ( https://de.wikipedia.org/?title=ContiTech&offset=&limit=500&action=history). And I think that it’s written from a neutral point of view, and that it refers to a wide range of independent, reliable, published sources.

. You should try and fill as many of these parameters as you can for the citation to be displayed properly.What you've formatted above looks like and that's leaving some important paramters empty. In particular, you seemed to have unintentionally combined the "url" paramter and "title" paramters together so that no "title" is being displayed in the citation. So, try formating the template like
<ref>{{cite web|last=|first=|url=ttp://sbcihq.in/d-p-burma-memorial-lecture-award/D. P. BURMA MEMORIAL LECTURE AWARD|title=|date=|website=|access-date=}}</ref>
and see if that resolves the problem you're having.

The original question appears to be about Young New Zealand Party. The was a historical party. What was added - in a decidedly unencyclopaedic tone and without references - was content about a new organization going be the same name. This probably requires a separate article, submitted as a draft, rather than an addition to the old article. The deleted content is not lost - it can be seen and copied from at View history - but it should not be added back to the existing article. David notMD ( talk) 00:33, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
I've normally moved drafts to new articles or have gone through the AfC review process. Since I am able to post an article to the main space I am likely to do it that way. I've read recently (somewhere ?) that drafts should be copied and pasted into new articles. Since I have a tendency to do many edits and modifications to an article before I am finally satisfied with it - I was curious to know if this is an accepted method or if it is not recommended. I guess my thoughts are that my somewhat drawn out process of creation really would be of no interest - just the end results... Any thoughts please.

I have submitted this article which has been rejected twice. It is for a TV manufacturer called Cello Electronics. They have been established for 20 years and are the only remaining TV manufacturer in the UK. They appeared twice on BBC Breakfast and once on BBC One Show in the last 12 months. Cello have made some notable product developments over the years with solar-powered products for Africa being one of the latest interesting ideas. They are well covered in the press with these developments.
I have added citations and references where appropriate, but the article continues to be rejected. I have also been careful with language and tone to make sure it doesn't read like an advertisement.
I wonder if you could help advise me on any specific changes I need to make to the article in order to get it published for the benefit and interest of Wikipedia readers.

Is Structural Biochemistry/ Kiss Gene Expression a valid article title? Per WP:SUB, which states Except in the main namespace ( article namespace), where the subpage feature has been disabled in the English Wikipedia, subpages are pages separated with a "/" (a slash) from their 'parent' page, this shouldn't be allowed.

I believe the following is factual, non-emotive and fair. Given the importance of the topic, I am struggling to understand why it would not meet Wikipedia's guidelines and would appreciate review/advice. Citations were provided in numerous places but don't show up when pasted here:
On 16 March 2020, advisor to the French Government on COVID-19, Professor Didier Raoult, announced that a trial involving 24 patients from the south east of France supported the claim that chloroquine was an effective treatment for COVID-19. 600mg of hydroxychloroquine was administered to these patients every day for 10 days. The drug appeared to be responsible for a "rapid and effective speeding up of their healing process, and a sharp decrease in the amount of time they remained contagious". The study also suggested that taking chloroquine in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin - which is known to be effective against complications from bacterial lung disease - led to even better outcomes. Professor Raoult said the results showed there was "a spectacular reduction in the number of positive cases" with the combination therapy. At 6 days, among patients given combination therapy, the percentage of cases still carrying SRAS-CoV-2 was no more than 5%. The French Health Minister, Olivier Véran. was reported as saying that "new tests will now go ahead in order to evaluate the results by Professor Raoult, in an attempt to independently replicate the trials and ensure the findings are scientifically robust enough, before any possible decision might be made to roll any treatment out to the wider public". The French media also reported that the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi had offered French authorities millions of doses of the drug for use against COVID-19. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhadamanthis ( talk • contribs) 07:54, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi,
I'm looking for help with my contribution on /info/en/?search=Draft:Elizabeth_Ford Sam 2727 rejected it on the basis that it used emotive language such as 'she passed on her sense of colour to her students'.
Firstly, this was the only reason given for rejection; secondly, my statement was factual; thirdly, the editor's statement smacks of gender differences in writing. As an academic, I am really surprised by this, especially given the emphasis on trying to correct the gender imbalance in Wikipedia: both in contributions and in the writing up of women in their respective fields. Further, neutral writing for art is not the same as neutral writing for computers and my academic training makes me better qualified for this than this comment might indicate - which was perhaps based on one loose reading, at best. Further, in my mind, one rather arbitrary edit is not equal to one rejection. Please help.

should always remain formal, impersonal, and dispassionate( Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Information style and tone), regardless of content, and right now it seems too passionate. Most of the tone issues that I noted were under the Art Style, Contemporaries and Students heading. What jumped out at me was
They include a list of painters dominated by men(emphasis mine) which makes me think about the list a certain way. Another paragraph (Drysdale-Green) went a little too much into detail on Ford's work in my opinion. Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝) 04:22, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Furthermore, one's credentials do not matter on Wikipedia, because (1) there is no process to verify them so no special weight is given to editors with credentials, and (2) 99% of Wikipedia content can be edited without any knowledge of the topic matter, just by reading what reliable sources say and writing an article using that (but of course, finding "reliable sources" in a topic you do not know can be difficult).

As many researchers, I use LaTeX to write papers, in collaboration with other researchers in the world. In recent years, some online solutions have made this process much easier. Currently, the dominant platform to write papers online with other researchers is Overleaf. I wanted to get more information about the company, but realised there is no Wikipedia page. I have decided to finish the draft page that had been rejected previously: Draft:Overleaf.
I have made several attempts to comply with the requirements for publication of an article. I am a paying user of Overleaf. I do not have any link that would create a conflict of interest.
I have cited some of the top publishers using Overleaf, such as Web of Science Group and AIP Publishing, together with some of the top institutions in the world that are using Overleaf for collaborative scientific writing: Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, DTU, ETH Zurich and CERN. All the original links from these companies and institutions have been cited in the draft of the Overleaf page. I could continue the list and add many more of the top institutions using Overleaf. But if the list above is not enough to prove the notability of the company, I do not think that any list would convince the people who have rejected the publication of the page. So I would really appreciate some help to understand how the most widely used company for collaborative LaTeX editing in the world cannot meet the notability requirements for a Wikipedia page.
If you look at all the other companies listed on the Comparison of TeX editors page, they barely have one reference, if not zero outside from their own website. If Wikipedia editors want to be fair on this, I think they should remove all these pages from Wikipedia. I do not see why those pages meet better the requirements for publication than the extensive collection of information I have provided here. Please let me know how I can get this page published finally. I have already spent several days on it, and I do not see any way to fulfil the requirements raised by the Wikipedia reviewers. MJ1984 ( talk) 14:51, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
An interesting point to add: the company ShareLaTeX was acquired by Overleaf, as detailed in the page Draft:Overleaf. So the company simply does not exist anymore, and the references in its Wikipedia page are only coming from the ShareLaTeX website or from the Overleaf website. Can someone explain to me how that page is allowed to exist while I cannot publish a page with 66 references? MJ1984 ( talk) 14:57, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I really do not understand what source could be more reliable that the websites of the top research institutions in the world. If tens of the top institutions in the world are customers using this platform, is it irrelevant for the notability of the company? I can make a random search and find tens of pages talking about the best LaTeX editors. All of them will have Overleaf listed. But I feel I would be just wasting my time, as the many independent pages I have already cited are just disregarded. Even a paper published in the journal Nature [doi: 10.1038/d41586-019-01796-1] would be completely meaningless as I understand, because the company behind the journal Nature is connected to Overleaf ("Overleaf is owned by Digital Science, a firm operated by the Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, which has a share in Nature’s publisher, Springer Nature")? MJ1984 ( talk) 16:01, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you Tigraan for having a look at it, and thank you ThatMontrealIP for cleaning-up the Draft:Overleaf. [I am not sure if there is a more standard thank you format that can be followed?] I have found the following paper published in a scientific journal and discussing about Overleaf: Martínez-López, J. Israel; Barrón-González, Samantha; Martínez López, Alejandro (2019). "Which Are the Tools Available for Scholars? A Review of Assisting Software for Authors during Peer Reviewing Process". Publications. 7 (3): 59. doi: 10.3390/publications7030059.. It contains about half a page on "Web-based LaTeX editors", citing only two of them: "such as ShareLaTeX and Overleaf". If you realise that these companies have merged, this is quite a strong argument about notability I guess. Together with the Nature paper cited above written by "a Berlin-based reporter for Times Higher Education, covering universities, research and politics across continental Europe" [6], [7]: Matthews, David (2019). "Craft beautiful equations in Word with LaTeX". Nature. 570 (7760): 263–264. Bibcode: 2019Natur.570..263M. doi: 10.1038/d41586-019-01796-1. PMID 31186559. S2CID 184483820.. Would that be sufficient to meet the notability requirements? Or the mention on the Times Higher Education [8] maybe? MJ1984 ( talk) 23:09, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
I try to summarise below what could count somehow:
Is that sufficient to prove notability? I have tried to list mostly the sources that seem to be recognised by Wikipedia. So it starts to be quite a significant list now?
I do not understand your comment about Overleaf being a "niche software". The link to Wikipedia:Notability_(software)#Inclusion you include just next clearly states as a notability criteria: "It is discussed in reliable sources as significant in its particular field." So being a niche software cannot be used to claim it does not meet the notability criteria for Wikipedia. Your comment "Wikipedia does not care about that" is actually against the Wikipedia:Notability_(software)#Inclusion policy. MJ1984 ( talk) 22:50, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

The primary source does not even have a College degree. The page reads like promotion and an infomercial that is then rebutted by Wikipedia editors.

I've used wikipedia for years and made a few edits without an account, but finally decided to take the plunge with an account. With all the corona around I may have a lot of time to spend surfing the web as I got exposed to someone that's tested positive. So I've scanned the info that popped up and it's massive. I never thought there was so much to editing honestly because there's a lot of stuff I've seen that either I know was wrong or found out it was wrong if it was something I was interested in and did more reading. It took me a bit to find this coffee house, but I'd love if anyone can tell me what would be some of the top, maybe like 3, articles that I should read through. This is the link for where I've been reading. /info/en/?search=Help:Getting_started thanks. Incidentally, I clicked on the edit tab for a page and see what pretty much looks like html.

Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝) 05:44, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Some organizations' rules or traditions call for secrecy with regard to certain information about them. Such restrictions do not apply to Wikipedia, because Wikipedia is not a member of those organizations; thus Wikipedia will not remove such information from articles if it is otherwise encyclopedic.
I've been reading all the editing materials between looking up stuff on actual pages. There are about 20 pages that I kinda of keep track. I have to be honest that I'm either confused or simply don't think editing is for me, although I know I could offer some good. On 3 of the pages I watch I overlap with another guy that has me confused about brd and this is what i'm hoping to get some kind of clarity.
On the 3 pages there's a user that no matter what someone does it is reverted. Literally everything. It's confusing because many, but not all, of the changes I think are good. A little by accident I found the talk page and boy some exchanges are scary. The guy is so intractable and two users have essentially said screw it and give up. One apparently tried to complain that the person made too many reversals and the guy got banned for awhile awhile back. But it seems all it did was educate them to wording things and it appears people just give up. To me that's a shame that one person can dominate something like that.
So having said all that, it makes me not even want to edit at all because life is too short and dealing with someone that can't see a balanced view is pretty frustrating. So is editing even worth it? I'm afraid to edit any page because if I take the time and run into someone else like that I know it'd drive me crazy. So is editing even worth it?

So far you need to provide sources that he wrote those books, also are you working on your phone? Several sentences are spaced out for no reason and you added some headers without any information below.

User AustroHungarian1897 has created several subpages for the aformentioned topic, and I really believe they aren't necessary. The articles have copy-pasted content from the main article, and even if it was original, the amount of data doesn't justify an entire page and would easily fit into the existing article. Would it be okay to mark them for deletion?

Hi There,
I had a new article rejected for lack of "reliable sources" yet each claim I made was backed up wit NYT, Variety, and major publications and magazines. I don't understand. The article was for Gabriel Sloyer, an actor in Red Dead Redemption 2. Many of the things mentions are already on Wikipedia pages I linked to as well -- all cited. What do it do?

I put this article up for GA Review and delisted it last month; there was no user action on the page during the GA review process. I kept it on my watchlist, though. Since March 3, this article has been edited by no fewer than six new accounts, many of them on their first day of editing. This is not a particularly high-visibility page, probably even less so since GA delisting, and I am struggling to come up with a reason why it should so suddenly be subject to new editing. The editors are not vandalizing or doing anything improper; it's just... strange. A couple of the editors shortly thereafter started or began drafting seemingly well-curated new articles (see Zjhin (since deleted), Selina Thompson, Draft: Passage AI). I'm here not because of any particular concern - just wondering if anyone else regards this as remarkable and odd, and notices anything suspicious that I'm missing. Thanks.

I am new to Wiki, want to create a Wikipage for our company's CEO. I've disclosed that conflict of interest on my user page. I believe what I have written takes a neutral point of view.
Two questions to that end 1) I saved a draft to work on later, and yet someone was able to review it and spike it. If it wasn't ready for review, why can someone delete it? That seems so foolish. 2) Here is the portion of the draft I had written. It is sourced with reliable, verifiable third-party sources. Only the most menial facts were sourced by our company website, which is within Wiki policy. There is nothing written that isn't fact-based and cited. Can someone tell me what is wrong with it?
Thank you in advance for any reply and guidance.

Jayson Waller (born Dec. 5, 1979) is an entrepreneur and founder of POWERHOME Solar, an energy efficiency and solar panel installation company based in Mooresville, North Carolina. Waller was a top sales manager for Verizon Wireless and owned ISI Alarms, a home security company, before becoming co-owner of PowerHome Technologies, another home security business[1]. He branched off from that to begin POWERHOME Solar in 2014, and has been the CEO since. Waller has overseen extensive growth at POWERHOME, with the company being ranked No. 100 among the 2019 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America[2]. This is the second time for POWERHOME to be ranked among the top 100 in the last three years, as it was ranked No. 96 in 2017[3]. POWERHOME is also ranked No. 6 nationally among residential rooftop solar installers[4]. The growth came after POWERHOME lost $1 million in its first year of operation[5]. Waller’s success has earned him multiple awards, including a 2019 EY Entrepreneur of Year Southeast Award in the Emerging Services category[6]. He also has been named one of the Most Admired CEOs of 2020[7] and one of five Champions of the New Economy in 2019[1]. Waller is the face of the POWERHOME brand and has filmed commercials with the Detroit Youth Choir, the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns. His True Underdog podcast shares his entrepreneurial story and that of other successful entrepreneurs, public-influencers, athletes and celebrities[8]. He seeks to motivate others who may be going through struggles. With a humble upbringing, Waller says that when he grew up, others gave him a feeling that he was less than them, and that motivated him to change that perception by becoming successful[9]. Waller is a champion for the community, helping guide efforts to assist members of the military through the company’s associations with the Lifetime TV miniseries Military Makeover[10] and Major League Baseball star Justin Verlander’s Wins for Warriors Foundation[11]. Waller also helped his company form a partnership with the GivePower Foundation to donate $40 of every solar project it installs to fund clean drinking water projects in areas of need across the world. The solar-powered desalination systems installed with these funds can provide clean water to up to 35,000 people a day[12]. Waller also has earned three gold Globee Awards, two for Professional of the Year in the Energy & Utilities and the U.S. categories, and one as Entrepreneur of the Year[13]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rogerkuznia ( talk • contribs) 13:14, 13 March 2020 (UTC) |

I was asked, on my talk page, by another editor, whether I am aware of advice or a WikiProject for editors who want to do paid editing, but want to do it both well and in accordance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. My reply was unpleasant to and about paid editing, and they in turn rebuked me, in a way that I think was partly fair and partly unfair, but it was thought-provoking. They pointed out that we have a policy do not bite the newbies, and that they are a newbie to paid editing. I don't think that is the intent of the policy, but it was an interesting thought. So my question here, in a forum for advice to new editors, is whether there is a forum or project for paid editors, or whether the lack of a forum and the lack of constructive advice is intended as a disincentive to paid editors, or what. Robert McClenon ( talk) 17:32, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
References
It seems to me, and I may have missed something, that there is a false dichotomy being raised about paid editing, with the statement that we should either welcome it or ban it outright. I am not sure why there can't be a compromise. It is true that the compromise makes paid editing unpleasant, which is just fine from the standpoint of the volunteer editors who are the community. I think that the current system is working satisfactorily if it makes paid editors unhappy,but that is only my opinion.
Maybe any discussion of the policy on paid editing should be in a policy forum rather than a help forum. However, what I am seeing is that there is an inherent conflict between any desire to use Wikipedia for a commercial purpose, and the neutral point of view, which is the second pillar of Wikipedia. Any article that satisfies neutral point of view is not likely to satisfy the desire of a company to use Wikipedia for a commercial purpose. It may be that volunteer editors who would like to offer their services as paid editors think that the conflict can be worked, but maybe it can't, and if the conflict can't be worked usefully, then it may function as an effective quasi-ban, and that is all right. At least, I think it is all right for the Wikipedia community. Comments? Robert McClenon ( talk) 18:15, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the correct term for the short list of facts under the first picture on the top right hand of articles pages is but I am going to call them quick facts until I find out the proper name for it. On the page for The Liberty Bell in the list of facts it lists the height, the weight, the material, and other things but the weight is not listed. I tried to add it by copying the format that I saw but it did not seem to work. I think the best place for it is below the type of bell and above the material, if not there then below the height and above the completion date. If someone who knows more about how to edit these sections with the pictures it would be appreciated. The article lists The Liberty Bell as having a weight of 2,080 pounds (940 kg), but the info is buried down lower in the page.

I have questions about citing a book with different editions. As an example, Stephen F. Austin cites The Life of Stephen F. Austin, Founder of Texas, 1793–1836 by Eugene C. Barker, originally published in 1926. The references list a 1968 second edition of the book. The footnotes use a short citation style with the 1926 date. My own copy is a reprint of the first edition, so I cannot confirm that the 1926 edition and the 1968 edition have the same pagination. Similarly with the Austin biography by Cantrell, I have a hardback with a publication date of 1999, and the article cites 2001 as the year of publication, which is probably correct for the paperback release. Which version should be cited when different editors are referring to different editions or different years of publication for the same book? And do they need to agree throughout the article?

at the end of your post.Hi, I used to have a wikipedia entry but it was removed a while ago by admins, I guess because they thought the content was not true or verifiable or not interesting enough.
My name is Ian David Marsden and I have already published several books and done quite a few things in the art, graphics, illustration and cartoon world. I was the very first Google Doodle creator for example.
I have a new graphic novel out which is about the life of the composer Marvin Hamlisch:
https://www.schifferbooks.com/marvin-based-on-the-way-i-was-by-marvin-hamlisch-6815.html
https://www.amazon.com/Ian-David-Marsden/
More about me:
https://marsdenillustration.com/about/
I do NOT wish to write an entry about myself, nor to write changes to any other entries regarding me or my books. Therefore I am adressing this forum. I don't know what it takes to "Merit" an entry but I thought maybe this new U.S. publication about a notable figure and one of only two winners of the PEGOT awards might qualify.
It would be very nice if at least my new book about Marvin Hamlisch could be added to the Marvin Hamlisch page. After that I would of course like it if my own entry could either be reinstated or if a new short one about me, my books and my artwork could be created, linked to all the relevant topics (illustrator, cartoonist, Swiss cartoonist, graphic novel author, etc.)
I will gladly provide any further information that is required. I would like to stress again: I don't want to write about myself and I don't wish to get into any arguments whether I should have an entry or not. I just wanted to put this information out there so that you can be the judge yourselves and decide and take approproate action, if any.
Thank you very much.

Hello all, long time listener, first time caller.
Just curious how to go about adding automated infometrics to articles? Eg; the SVG world maps with colouring showing the spread of viruses or demographic data and the like - do people just upload these SVGs on a regular basis or something? Can anyone please point me to some relevant templates/guides?
Reason I'm asking is that I've written some (Python) code which computes the Gallagher index scores for election systems, which helps to quantify the amount of dis-proportionality in voting systems. Would there be any interest in including such data in election articles? It's not really original research or anything, just an implementation of the least squares function to help churn through and present the data.
The basic idea of the Gallagher index is it gives you a measure of difference between the percentage of votes, versus the percentages of bums on seats in any given legislature. In the US election system this number can go over 10%, which is rather 'undemocratic' by international standards. Dis-proportionality itself is a non-partisan issue affecting both republicans and democrats, but the data I'm seeing for the US primaries does suggest some penalties and bonuses in some states which might be notable enough for inclusion, especially when this number is over 10%.
What are other people's thoughts on this? Would it be a useful and relevant inclusion on election outcome templates/articles? Or is it too close to original research? WinstonSmith01984 ( talk) 12:56, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello Teahouse! So I submitted my article for the actor Sean Depner. It was declined twice, because of lack of reliable sources. The problem here is, most of the informations I got of him, are from social media accounts and that will not get accepted as a reliable source. I also used IMDB as a reliable source, but it also got declined. My article is a right based on my own research, but they are not reliable sources for Wikipedia. I do not know what to do now, because the actor does not have many informations on reliable sources. What would be your advice? Should I just delete it and wait for reliable sources?

I started approximately 5 days publishing at many languages but the process of getting notability is very ambigouous and depends on the approval of editors. I relly on the internet articles which spreads for more quantity of articles describing "how to get your company listed on wikipedia, Part 1" and others.
I had the luck or rather wisdom and the sober and vigiliance of my brain to be active in the most emerging technologies so according to the wikipedia 5 pillars and other articles if i will be right in writing and stick to the rules of wikiedia i hope i will get my profile nobility and my company will be listen on wikipedia.

Hello,
I had my article, Draft:Etymology of Chicago rejected. The reason given is that "This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission."
In one sense, most people are unfamiliar with the subject. That's why they are looking it up on Wikipedia. I am putting pieces together, fully referenced, in a new way, in the spirit of what I think an encyclopedia should be. My introduction (lead) gives the essentials of what the piece is about.
My piece is a scholarly article -- with no jargon or technical talk -- written for an intelligent person interested in the subject of "where did the word Chicago come from." What have others said, who-what-where-when, and what is new to say about it, based on existing resources. Fifteen years ago, a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune (William Mullen) said that my work would revise history. What Wikipedia has currently for the etymology of Chicago is subject to critical review of the background information.
If a person reading my piece was unfamiliar with the main actors and events, I have links that give context to many of them. Could I please have some other opinions about the rejection? What in this case in meant by "context?
I intend to write more articles in this subject matter area, and I believe that Wikipedia is in the spirit of what I would like to give.

Can anyone tell me specifically where something does not fit?

I went to the site to look for pummelo, and got a notice that there was a message for me. Huh? I have never "inputted" a thing to Wikipedian I simply don't have knowledge worth posting there. <G> Then, when I clicked on this "message", I was told that and edit the bot figured came from me was taken down. Then, there was an actual "warning", with a long number behind it. What?!? It was supposed to be about Queen, Lambert, as I recall.

Hello! I hope this is an appropriate question. I haven't been able to find a very straightforward answer elsewhere, although I must admit I haven't been searching very thoroughly. I am interested in creating something to add a redirect note to what currently comes up when one types in a certain acronym to another article of an organization with the same acronym. First, am I allowed to do this? My account isn't very old, and I've only done 10 edits. Second, is this possible?

Hi thanks for the response and it is not self promotion that is exactly what the organisation does holds people accountable that is a constitution obligation.
I believe the system has automatically done that but it hasn’t taken into consideration that that is exactly what we do. How can I get the edits back?

The original question appears to be about Young New Zealand Party. The was a historical party. What was added - in a decidedly unencyclopaedic tone and without references - was content about a new organization going be the same name. This probably requires a separate article, submitted as a draft, rather than an addition to the old article. The deleted content is not lost - it can be seen and copied from at View history - but it should not be added back to the existing article. David notMD ( talk) 00:33, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
I've normally moved drafts to new articles or have gone through the AfC review process. Since I am able to post an article to the main space I am likely to do it that way. I've read recently (somewhere ?) that drafts should be copied and pasted into new articles. Since I have a tendency to do many edits and modifications to an article before I am finally satisfied with it - I was curious to know if this is an accepted method or if it is not recommended. I guess my thoughts are that my somewhat drawn out process of creation really would be of no interest - just the end results... Any thoughts please. Also, if that is okay to do that in that manner how do you delete a draft? Thank you! LorriBrown ( talk) 17:05, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi guys. I have a pending edit request at Talk:Innocent Umezulike with the last message remaining unanswered for 10 days now; a backlog of requested edits has also been building at Category:Requested edits over the course of this month.

Hello
I have submitted this article which has been rejected twice. It is for a TV manufacturer called Cello Electronics. They have been established for 20 years and are the only remaining TV manufacturer in the UK. They appeared twice on BBC Breakfast and once on BBC One Show in the last 12 months. Cello have made some notable product developments over the years with solar-powered products for Africa being one of the latest interesting ideas. They are well covered in the press with these developments.
I have added citations and references where appropriate, but the article continues to be rejected. I have also been careful with language and tone to make sure it doesn't read like an advertisement.
I wonder if you could help advise me on any specific changes I need to make to the article in order to get it published for the benefit and interest of Wikipedia readers.
Thanks for your help.

I removed an unnecessary merge propsal tag on 3 articles. One article shows this removal as a strikethrough in the article's edit history. What does this mean? You can't even see the edit, although the edit was fine, and the tag was removed. The edit occurs in the other 2 articles. There was a merge tag before my edit, and no merge tag after my edit, so what's this about that my edit doesn't show as a regular edit with diff? There was copyrighted text removed, but my edit was not to copytighted text, and my edit staye, and it should be in the history.

I believe the following is factual, non-emotive and fair. Given the importance of the topic, I am struggling to understand why it would not meet Wikipedia's guidelines and would appreciate review/advice. Citations were provided in numerous places but don't show up when pasted here:
On 16 March 2020, advisor to the French Government on COVID-19, Professor Didier Raoult, announced that a trial involving 24 patients from the south east of France supported the claim that chloroquine was an effective treatment for COVID-19. 600mg of hydroxychloroquine was administered to these patients every day for 10 days. The drug appeared to be responsible for a "rapid and effective speeding up of their healing process, and a sharp decrease in the amount of time they remained contagious". The study also suggested that taking chloroquine in combination with the antibiotic azithromycin - which is known to be effective against complications from bacterial lung disease - led to even better outcomes. Professor Raoult said the results showed there was "a spectacular reduction in the number of positive cases" with the combination therapy. At 6 days, among patients given combination therapy, the percentage of cases still carrying SRAS-CoV-2 was no more than 5%. The French Health Minister, Olivier Véran. was reported as saying that "new tests will now go ahead in order to evaluate the results by Professor Raoult, in an attempt to independently replicate the trials and ensure the findings are scientifically robust enough, before any possible decision might be made to roll any treatment out to the wider public". The French media also reported that the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi had offered French authorities millions of doses of the drug for use against COVID-19. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhadamanthis ( talk • contribs) 07:54, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi,
I'm looking for help with my contribution on /info/en/?search=Draft:Elizabeth_Ford Sam 2727 rejected it on the basis that it used emotive language such as 'she passed on her sense of colour to her students'.
Firstly, this was the only reason given for rejection; secondly, my statement was factual; thirdly, the editor's statement smacks of gender differences in writing. As an academic, I am really surprised by this, especially given the emphasis on trying to correct the gender imbalance in Wikipedia: both in contributions and in the writing up of women in their respective fields. Further, neutral writing for art is not the same as neutral writing for computers and my academic training makes me better qualified for this than this comment might indicate - which was perhaps based on one loose reading, at best. Further, in my mind, one rather arbitrary edit is not equal to one rejection. Please help.

They include a list of painters dominated by men(emphasis mine) which makes me think about the list a certain way. Another paragraph (Drysdale-Green) went a little too much into detail on Ford's work in my opinion. Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝) 04:22, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
neutral writing for art is not the same as neutral writing for computers and my academic training makes me better qualified for this (...)Please understand that Wikipedia has specific style guidelines that might differ significantly from that of others (be them museum curators or software manual writers). Furthermore, one's credentials do not matter on Wikipedia, because (1) there is no process to verify them so no special weight is given to editors with credentials, and (2) 99% of Wikipedia content can be edited without any knowledge of the topic matter, just by reading what reliable sources say and writing an article using that (but of course, finding "reliable sources" in a topic you do not know can be difficult).
